Professional & Scholarly Publishing

Enabling the communication and dissemination of new ideas and discoveries that drive innovation.

Supporting Excellence and Innovation in Professional and Scholarly Communities

AAP’s Professional & Scholarly Publishing (PSP) division is guided by its commitment to advancing quality scholarship that is validated through peer review, curated, and made available worldwide to inspire innovative ideas and cutting-edge research. Our members publish the vast majority of books, journals, software, databases, and other digital content that are used by scholars and professionals in science, medicine, technology, business, law, and the social sciences and humanities, and are leaders in promoting public access policies that benefit science and society. We deepen members’ knowledge of industry issues, monitor and alert members to key government policies, and offer ways to influence policy through the work of our Executive Council and six PSP committees.
